HI
I want to cut off 2.1 mm plug and attach banana plug to it. Where does the red attach to and to where does the black plug attach too.

Theoretically the wire with the ribbing on it goes to Black and the smooth wire goes to Red to match other new transformer phasing, But you should always double check the phasing to be sure. The Black is outside rails and Red is center rail.
Depending on what you're trying to do, you might find these 50 cent (or so) adapter jacks handy - then you don't have to cut/splice the factory plug from the brick. Search eBay for "female dc adapter jack".

Stan's suggestion is a LOT cheaper (those adapters are extremely handy to have around), but MTH also makes an adapter cable TIU/Barrel Jack Adapter Cable as another option (and may be readily available). The bad part is the $10.95 MSRP.
I got some of the adapters Stan posted and used them myself (after also buying an MTH adapter a few years ago). I suppose there is nothing wrong with cutting the cord, but I am a fan of leaving the barrel jack in place and not cutting the cord, just personal preference. Either way, be sure to check phasing as Susan pointed out above.
Dear All
Thank you for your reply. It makes it some much simpler to do now.
